| The reason is that 8.5 uses xft fonts (anti-aliased).
| The xft fonts have different names names from the normal fonts.
Now that you mention it... I noticed this one too. The new look is at
first glance 'blurred' on my TFT... I'm not yet sure what I like
better, the crisp edgy old non-anti-aliased letters or the new ones.
You get used to them once you look at them for a while...

| same time (not only in Tk but also in other applications.)
For now I'd be happy to continue to use the non-aliased fonts. I see
there is a --enable-xft flag in configure. I'll try this and see
whether it makes a difference.
